You have three TRIVIAL wishes!

So you found a genie in a bottle/kettle/beverage container of your choice, and he gives you three wishes. However, it's a weak little newb genie, so these wishes must concern something very trivial and of little consequence, no "ton of gold" or "world peace" wishes.

Me, I want the shirt hook doodad on my Fisher Spacepen to stop coming loose; I want there to be a cover over the dangle of loose wires over my desk since I'm never going to install a wall light there, and I want my bedroom door to not require heaving at it to close it properly.

What's your Trivial wish?

I want my cat to stop banging on my door to wake me up.

I want my laptop adapter to be able to fit in the socket closest to my desk, instead of the surge protector way on the other side of the room and behind and entertainment center.

I want the Escapist to get rid of Captchas so that I won't have to deal with them when my "premium" membership runs out. And so no one else has to deal with them. Nah. Really, this is selfish. I don't care about other people doing them.

I wish that my laptop screen and console controllers would just stop getting dirty. The controllers I can understand, I'm touching them all the time, but there is no reason for my laptop screen to be so dirty!

I wish for no hayfever. Seriously summer, fuck you!

I also wish for a better attention span. I'ts fine for things I like doing, but I get bored to easily if something doesn't interest me, it's a massive pain re - ohhh! ice cream!

Actually, the controllers should be LESS dirty due to more use. I never get dust on my main 360/PS3 controllers, but my "spare" controllers are covered in dust.

So, the more you use it, the less VISIBLY dirty it should be. Assuming you wash your hands with any sort of regularity.

Or eat when you game or something.

I wish that all the cat fur on my clothes would come off and STAY OFF. This one may be impossible even for the most wish-hardened genie.

I wish for a couple of tortex picks. They are damn near impossible to find in Shanghai unless you order them or know someone who might be going overseas

And....I wish that Duke Nukem Forevers current release date is the final one (I know its supposed to be trivial, but if you don't push the genies limits, how will he/she/it improve)

Well my palms can get a little sweaty sometimes, and the residue dries on the controllers.

I wish that my hair would stop being itchy.

I wish someone invisible person would dress me, because I'm far too lazy to get out of my towel.

I wish for my bathroom to be closer so I could crawl to go brush my teeth.

Yep, lazy night for me guys.

I wish I were about a size 12, and would stay that way for the rest of my life.

I wish I'd never get anymore allergies or illnesses that affect my voice (amateur voice acting is hard this time of year D:)

I wish that people could learn how to park properly, especially if they have a very large vehicle in the first place.

I got to agree with that: seriously, how much fur does my cat have ? Can't even sit anywhere if I've got some nicer clothes on.

But the other two...
How about me being a little less lazy?
And a new pair of glasses. I'm so lazy i haven't bought new ones, though the ones i currently wear are crooked and falling apart. Though they do amaze me, I've gotten quite a lot of footballs (football as used in the game soccer for ye yanks) to the face, and they still haven't broken. Tough little bastards they are.

I wish my facial hair grew in a less haphazard & patchy fashion.

I wish I had a pair of oven gloves that never got threadbare and less useful.

I wish watermelon seeds had the same taste and consistency as watermelon flesh, so I didn't have to spit them out whilst eating watermelon.

Oh genie, grant me these wishes three!

1) Whoever doesn't make it easy for another vehicle to join a motorway, by either moving over or slowing down to create a gap, shall be instantly teleported back to the start of their journey!

2) Every day is at least 18 degrees and sunny. Clouds and breeze can vary, but all rain must fall at night when we're in bed.

3)Strong tea should brew in under a minute, so it's still a decent temperature when it comes to drinking it.

I wish for a crisp £5 note

I wish for a cheese and ham sandwich

I wish for 2 pints of pear cider to enjoy on this lovely day.

They're about as trivial as I could get I think.

I want my current home work to be done.

I want my facial hair to grow slightly faster.

I want to be able to know what mp3 I should wish for, for my birthday.
